conclusions pressure support ventilation, but not spontaneous breathing, induces a significant redistribution of ventilation towards the ventral region. the sensitivity of the support trigger appears to influence the distribution of ventilation only during the early phase of inspiration. background in supine position, pressure support ventilation causes a redistribution of ventilation towards t...

Laboratory ventilation is a fundamental strategy to control exposures to volatile chemicals. However, laboratory ventilation systems are energy-intensive and developing innovative methods for incorporating sustainable energy considerations into laboratory ventilation design and operation is an important concern for successful 21st century laboratory institutions. This paper describes our use of...

Complications of mechanical ventilation increase with duration. Delayed weaning and premature weaning are both associated with increasing complications. In addition, adverse events and deterioration relating to the ventilator system could happen any time. Therefore, accurate monitoring of the patient’s respiratory condition and adjustment of ventilator settings are essential during mechanical v...

Current Approaches Current approaches to the mechanical ventilation of houses are found in the CSA Standard F326, “Residential Mechanical Ventilation Systems,” and in the National Building Code of Canada 1995. CAN/CSA-F326 The CSA Standard F326 was first published in 1989 and revised in 1991. It is the most comprehensive standard available on this subject, and attempts to address the critical i...

Background and Objectives: Suction is a necessary and common method which aids in the release of secretion from the respiratory system for the patients who have undergone mechanical ventilation. One of the most common complications of suction is hypoxemia which causes dysrhythmia and death. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of open and closed-endotracheal suction on cardiov...
